Floyd has been the best for so long, there's always gonna be a someone he shouldve fought or ducked. A prime cotto is a B level fighter maybe B+ on good days and would not have become even close to beating floyd.

They could have fought in 2008...after Cotto beat Mosley and Floyd beat Hatton in 2007...but Floyd took his vacation...

Arum may have been a problem but I did wanna see it happen...

They could have fought years earlier at 140, as the thread started stated. However, neither Arum nor Cotto's people wanted to put him in the ring with Mayweather. You clowns who keep claiming Floyd ducked Cotto in 2008 always seem to forget about this fact.

Listen here dude. You have some nerve posting a thread with facts in it. How dare you come on NSB and not believe that Floyd ducked Miguel Cotto. Independent thinking based on factual evidence will get you punished.

Truest words ever spoken on this message board. Unfortunately, they will get you punished along with the threadstarter.

I have evidence of Arum turning down a Mayweather offer to face Cotto.

I'll gladly take some points off anyone who denies this.

Side note: I thought Cotto and hatton were ringside for the Gatti bout (at the beginning, in front of Fat Dan):

I believe you. I remember very clearly also that there was a story on this site years ago saying that Frank Warren, Hatton's promoter at the time, had turned down an offer from Mayweather's camp to fight Ricky Hatton in what would have been Mayweather's first fight at 140. However, when Mayweather retired after the De La Hoya fight, no one remembered this and claimed that Mayweather was dodging Hatton. It was only after Floyd beat the hell out of Hatton that Hatton suddenly became too small to fight at 147.

They pump fighters up, Floyd beats em, time for the excuses

Cotto was too slow to deal with Floyd. Floyd is and always has been on another level. Compare the 2 now

Its not that I have some nerve. Why are people so filled with hate and jealousy. I really commend Miguel Cotto. He is a true warrior. But Bob Arum and Team Cotto wanted no parts of Floyd. Cotto has never indicated or verbalized a desire to fight Floyd. He's been rocked by guys who weigh significantly less than him. Guys who didn't punish him for his mistakes. A highly anticipated fight. But at the end of the day, bar politics most people wanna see Floyd get badly hurt, simply because he doesn't...
